Chapter 597: Forced Marriage

Chapter 597: Chapter 597: Forced Marriage

Di Xuansha stared in astonishment at the scene before him, his eyes filled with an unusual expression.

What was that creature just now? Right, the last time Zhong Shan severed the earth vein of Sky Wolf Island, that creature had appeared once. It was just a phantom last time, but this time it had formed a solid body?

The power just now, eight tails weaving through space, creating ripples that annihilated everything within three hundred thousand miles—what kind of ability is this?

Di Xuansha could achieve something like this, but what about Zhong Shan? What level of cultivation does he have now? How could he do this too? This was something only those at the Heavenly Extreme Realm could do!

How did that creature enter Zhong Shan's body?

Moreover, Zhong Shan's cultivation, the Emperor Extreme Realm, the tenth level?

Advancing five levels in a row?

Di Xuansha's face twitched again. This wasn't just hard work in cultivation; this speed was more terrifying than the best foundation of an upper-level being. Was this still the so-called inferior foundation that was beyond salvage?

Di Xuansha was full of doubts but also excitement. The stronger Zhong Shan became, the better it would be for the future of the Wolf Clan.

Below, Zhong Shan stood in mid-air, slightly stunned as he looked at the destruction caused by the Eight Extreme Tails.

Zhong Shan did not seek out Di Xuansha but looked into the distance. The red lotus in the middle of his brows transmitted another wave of red and green energy into Zhong Shan's eyes.

Suddenly, the world in Zhong Shan's eyes changed, filled with endless, boundless rules of heaven and earth spreading in all directions.

These rules were grayish-white in color.

Suddenly, Zhong Shan's eyes lit up as he saw a special pattern.

Red, a red pattern?

At the moment he saw that red pattern, Zhong Shan suddenly felt a surge of fiery intent rushing into his mind, shaking his spirit. It was more overwhelming than all the rules combined. A unique red pattern.

However, this red pattern disappeared as quickly as it appeared.

Zhong Shan's heart was filled with indescribable shock. What was that?

Grayish-white rules were only visible and did not affect his spirit, but that red pattern made his heart pound wildly.

What was it?

A law!

That was not a rule pattern; it was a law pattern!

The laws of heaven and earth, the true source of power!

Was that a law?

Zhong Shan's heart was filled with endless excitement. Laws—one must know that in the Lesser Thousand World, only those at the Heavenly Extreme Realm could touch a hint of the law. Just touching a hint of the law allowed them to unfold their own "heaven."

The Emperor Extreme Realm could at most sense the rules and could not fully comprehend them, yet in front of Zhong Shan were actual rule patterns, patterns that even those at the Heavenly Extreme Realm could not see so clearly. Zhong Shan could even occasionally see a few strands of law patterns.

The source of power, the laws—what Zhong Shan saw just now was a fire law.

"Hoo—"

Not far away, a blue pattern suddenly appeared, flashing past Zhong Shan's side and disappearing into the distance. A surge of water power swept toward Zhong Shan.

Zhong Shan shivered. A water law?

The shock and joy in Zhong Shan's heart reached an infinite height. One must know that even the most powerful Heavenly Extreme Realm experts could only grasp a sliver of a single type of law, yet the laws in Zhong Shan's eyes seemed limitless?

Quickly, he closed his eyes.

"Don't worry. For Da An's promotion and for my Wolf Clan, I will handle everything properly," Di Xuansha nodded seriously.

"Thank you," Zhong Shan said earnestly once again.

Although Di Xuansha was working for the Wolf Clan, considering his immense power and high status in Shenzhou, his willingness to follow Zhong Shan's arrangements was unprecedented. By rights, Zhong Shan should not have been able to command him, yet Di Xuansha cooperated fully. Zhong Shan, in turn, showed him great respect.

Di Xuansha nodded and suddenly looked outside the hall.

"You have things to do, I'll take my leave," Di Xuansha said, then vanished from Zhong Shan's sight.

Zhong Shan nodded, then looked outside the hall in puzzlement.

Outside the hall, Bao'er had arrived.

Bao'er was followed by a man in white. Bao'er's expression seemed slightly melancholic as she entered the hall in silence.

"What's the matter?" Zhong Shan asked, looking at Bao'er.

"He's here to see you," Bao'er pouted.

"From the Longevity World, Bai Qingyan greets Emperor Zhong!" the man in white respectfully addressed Zhong Shan.

The Longevity World? Bai Qingyan? The surname Bai?

"Uh, who are you?" Zhong Shan looked at Bai Qingyan, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Bai Qingsi is a distant cousin of mine. Long ago, Bai Qingsi's family left the Longevity World and joined a mortal dynasty. Our Bai clan deeply regretted this, but fortunately, Bai Qingsi eventually returned to the Longevity World," Bai Qingyan explained.

"The Bai clan?" Zhong Shan frowned slightly.

"Indeed," Bai Qingyan affirmed.

"What do you need from me?" Zhong Shan asked, puzzled.

"My cousin Bai Qingsi asked me to deliver a letter to you personally," Bai Qingyan said.

"Oh?" Zhong Shan raised an eyebrow.

Bai Qingyan handed over a letter.

As soon as Zhong Shan opened the letter, he found a strand of black hair inside, the secret signal he had agreed upon with Bai Qingsi. Judging by the length of the strand, Zhong Shan immediately knew the letter contained only four words.

Opening the letter, he saw it indeed contained only four words:

"Come quickly, save me!"

Come quickly, save me? Zhong Shan's heart trembled at these four words. Although Bai Qingsi appeared gentle, Zhong Shan knew she was extremely proud and aloof, never lowering her head. She was a girl who was outwardly gentle but inwardly strong and stubborn.

Such a girl, even when facing immense difficulties, would never ask for help but would endure silently.

But now? Come quickly, save me?

These four words revealed Bai Qingsi's deep dependence on Zhong Shan and also indicated that something extraordinarily significant had happened.

"What happened to Qingsi?" Zhong Shan immediately asked.

"Cousin is being forced into marriage!" Bai Qingyan quickly replied, as if urging Zhong Shan to save her as well.

"Forced marriage? By whom?" Zhong Shan's eyes turned cold.

"By Bing Xuan Zhenjun!" Bai Qingyan said gravely.

Bing Xuan? Zhong Shan's mind quickly recalled the blue-haired, devilishly handsome man he had encountered long ago. That time, when he met Bai Qingsi while traveling to the Da Li Heavenly Dynasty, the man who had accompanied her, whom she called uncle but who persistently pursued her.

"Him? Impossible, he can't be a match for Qingsi!" Zhong Shan said, his heart sinking.
